Common Sense…Degrees Of Difficulty

In general; achieving Common Sense becomes more difficult as the number of people, places, and things involved increases.

1. LOW DIFFICULTY…A personal situation…one person involved; you!

Example…If you had a dental problem you would seek a well educated and experienced Dentist; not a Farmer*!

2. MEDIUM DIFFICULTY… Multiple people, family, friends, and fellow workers are involved.

Example…If you had a relationship problem with family, friends, or fellow workers you would seek a well educated and experienced  Therapist or Consultant; not a Cosmologist*!

3. HIGH DIFFICULTY…Multiple organizations; groups, departments, divisions, companies, and corporations are involved.

Example…If you are a member of a group, department, division, company, or corporation and have a problem with operations dynamics; you would seek a well trained and experienced consultant on Project Planning, Project Management, Project Control, Project Spending, etc.; not a Meteorologist*!

4. EXTREME DIFFICULTY…Multiple governments are involved; Local, State, Federal, and Global.

Example…You have a problem competing in a global economy fueled by Super Technology. You need a superbly educated and healthy workforce. You must seek many different highly educated and experienced experts in the areas of concern; the most important being Common Sense and Political Science, not Publishers*, Caregivers*, Flight Attendants*, or Postmen*, etc.!

NOTE…* Were members of the 117th Congress.

REALITY CHECK

America is a crippled Republic having Extreme Difficulty in achieving Common Sense.

* We The People are co-owners of America’s Congress because our votes determine who sits in the seats of Congress.

* We count on our members of Congress to focus on six critical responsibilities (Ref. the preamble to the Constitution).

1. Form a more perfect union.

2. Establish justice.

3. Ensure domestic tranquility.

4. Provide for the common defense.

5. Promote the general welfare.

6. Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

* Congress has not done a good job of addressing those critical issues (Ref. Post #21…Congress’ Report Card).

We The People did not do a good job of filling the seats of Congress with people who were capable of doing the job!

* The job requirements for the position of Member of Congress do not include EDUCATION OR EXPERIENCE! (Ref. Post #15…Job Requirements for members of Congress).

* Decades of Congress’ poor performance resulted in We The People developing an indifferent attitude towards the democratic process; leaving special interest groups (Political Parties) fighting for control, creating a culture focused on Power and Profit instead of Country and People.

* America is a crippled Republic because it does not know what Common Sense is and does not understand how government works (i.e., Political Science).

* When these two weaknesses occur at the same time a “Perfect Storm” is created that is the root cause of America’s problems (Ref. Post #93…How Democracy Will Die).

The Future of America is up to you!

Know who and what you are voting for. Fill the seats of Congress with Patriots who can create a Government of, by, and for the people.

NO COMMON SENSE

ANALYZE THE EXAMPLE

* Which supports and barriers were in play?

* What were the dynamics?

* Who, or What, won the Tug-of-War?

* Discuss the outcome with your friends and family.

* Use Post  #4 as a reference for the relationships and dynamics between supports and barriers.
